Floods can expose gold's host rock and move fine placer. The term for recent recharging of streams and washes with the shiney mineral is 'flood gold.' Fires certainly help accessibility.

I have talked to several people going up and they all thought fires were allowed in the forest now. Please realize they opened the forest back up to the public but the Stage I fire restrictions are still in place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
